"Middenface sucks" -- ?

"Gets up my nose" -- ?

Are these more references to Randy?

Hey Dounreay, your icono out to be a radiation warning sign

Or a three-headed fish

Or yet another isotope washed up on a beach

Or a terrified resident of the Scottish Highlands

For anyone represented by nothing but a bland grey box, this site has all sorts of fun icons, many free for non-commercial use.

They include a science fiction section and a cartoon section.

My personal favourite must be Pigpen from Peanuts. He is what I aspire to be!

General / Readers' drawings
08 November, 2002, 08:15:27 PM
According to a reply to a reader's letter I was perusing last night, it was the Men In Black who killed these off!

The letter asked why the drawings were no longer appearing, and the reply was along the lines of, "Is that what those things lying around the office are?"

This was around the time of Tharg's absence, when the creepy Men In Black were in residence in the Nerve Centre.

So, if you want your scribble of Judge Ulrika, Rogue Anchovy or Nikolai Panties on the Input page, you know who to blame.

Bish-OP? Do you speak for those grey men?

That was fun!

I got to a thousand before I started screaming, which is quite good given the Trout's tiny attention span and lack of mastery when it comes to most computer games.

Next we need a version of the famous 80s Spectrum game starring Sam Fox...

Remember it?

How about Galen Demarco's Strip Poker?

Ooooh!

I'm still doing my best to keep an open mind.

I like the idea of a fun genre strip in 2K, but that final line gave me a bad feeling about what's to come. We shall see.

By the way

It turned out God was alive the whole time, anyway, as revealed in the second CF series.

Like Red Seas, I found the Canon entertaining, and loved the art. Weston is a genuine talent.

However, the shock value of plot twists did not in itself build well enough on a good basic idea, IMO.

I never found myself dying for the next episode, the way I have with, for example, our latest werewolf offering from John Wagner.

I've been reserving judgement on this, because it seemed quite good but was a slowburner.

Steve Yeowell's art is excellent, especially in black and white.

"We're going to kill God."

Oh shit. Not again.

Canon Fodder, anyone?

Or how about Preacher?

That damn line spoiled it for me, almost eclipsing last week's tremendous one-liner, "Great steaming arses!"

Anyone agree?

I just noticed this Thread.

You bunch of ankle-biters.

The Trout predates 2K by five full years, therefore I am better than it is.

"she read the Ballad of Halo Jones"

My wife "can't" read comics, which is tragic.
I've been asking her to read Halo for years and years, but she just won't.

Maybe if she did, she'd understand my evil adulterous (in my head only) love for Halo.

You're a lucky man, Nathan.
Oh, and tell Oddgirl she looked lovely on the big day!

Yeah, fair enough Paul. I just had deja vu as I read it.

I'm very much behind the idea of Past Imperfect.

I was pissed off with the formulaic approach taken to Future Shocks.
